I live far, far away from Zion. Yet, if some member commits mayhem, invariably a neighbor or news caster will say: “John Doe, who is a Mormon, ……..” They don’t do that for any other religion, at least not that I’ve noticed. Thankfully, “bad” saints that rise to the level of the news are all that common, but still, it goes to show the world seems to have a peculiar fascination with us.

It’s not just more murderers lately. We’ve had more Mormon presidential candidates, more mormon olympic winners, more Mormon reality stars, etc. There are just more of us and we are cropping up everywhere!

I think they just mention our religion more. Somebody could probably research it, which would actually be of interest to me. But if you’re a Mormon, and you screw up, you can bet your religion will come up. It’s not quite fair, really, but in a way, it’s a compliment.
